Justice League Dark: Apokolips War[]
Irons is seen to be one of the surviving superheroes of Darkseid's successful invasion on Earth. Two years later, he makes his first appearance in the movie when Lois Lane assigns Irons, Shazam, and Superboy to destroy one of the towers Darkseid has implanted on Earth. The three superhumans fly to China to take down one of the towers that were implanted there. Shazam begins to destroy the tower while Irons and Superboy play defense by taking out the Parademons protecting the tower. Irons is seen swinging his hammer at two Parademons, knocking them out, but gets hit by a laser from a Parademon behind him and he falls. He is not seen later on in the movie and is perhaps announced dead since Shazam and Superboy are killed by the Paradooms who came to replace the Parademons.
